[Auszug] We tested the idea of prey depeletion by considering spatial distribution and sizes of seabird colonies, as a direct demonstration would require an expensive marine sampling programme. If Ashmole's model is correct, then in an area of uniform mean productivity, colony size should be strongly and ...
